Lin Ruolong changed her clothes and was seen off the door with gifts. She glared at Yuan Congqian with a red face.
As if to engrave his hateful face in my heart.
Yuan Congqian was kind-hearted and gave her a popular dress. The girl even thanked him politely.
It would be great if all the high-ranking officials in the court were such innocent girls.
……
Jing'anfang, Chen Mansion. Fruits are ripe, and the sweet fragrance is everywhere.
Yuan Congqian came with an invitation.
Qiu Fengshu was wearing a white robe and a red ribbon, following everyone around.
In the main hall for meeting guests, in addition to Chen Zhijun and a female elder from his tribe, there were two people wearing pure white military uniforms with fur collar coats, sitting to the east. A pink Rupert was silently sipping Earl Grey tea, and behind him was the Liberian military attaché wearing a Western-style sword.
Rupert's hair, ears, and tail are all a very girly pink.
Pink Luper's every move was full of nobility, and he was obviously a pampered aristocrat. The military officer had white hair and golden eyes, was tall, and had Liberi's wings on his forehead. He was handsome and heroic, and as brilliant as an attendant in the brilliant divine realm.
Hearing Yuan Congqian's footsteps, Pink Rupert opened his eyes, and his eyes were actually a slightly darker pink.
Chen Zhijun introduced:
"These two are from the Ursus Empire. After we contacted the shareholders of the International Commercial Bank, it was a private shareholder meeting, but somehow it was known to the Longmen prefect. With his help, the Ursus Empire was the first to express its willingness to provide export medicines.
Regarding the transaction, the governor of Longmen hopes to designate the Central Bank of Ursus as the third party to transfer the payment for the transaction between the two parties. He said that he could persuade the president of the central bank to provide transportation services and give priority to Cherven settlement in the next large-scale transactions. "
He spoke in a calm tone, but Yuan Congqian heard the hint in his words.
Behind the prefect of Longmen is Kosice.
The current mobile city Longmen is still in the hands of Black Snake. When the International Commercial Bank was still in contact with Victoria, he had already used the hidden agents in the bank to get the news of the official Western Pharmacy, and wanted to further infiltrate Da Yan.
Yuan Congqian remained calm and deep in thought.
The location of Yan Country is still too remote and too far away from Victoria, the current center of Terra.
Pink Rupert was not as expressionless as Yuan Congqian.
In other words, he was so proud of his status as an Ursus noble that he didn't bother to hide his thoughts.
Pink Luper spoke a long paragraph in Ursus. The translator kneeling on the ground said quickly, "I'm sorry to hear your visit. I'm glad to meet you. I'm Nikolai Prokofy Ivanov, a fifth-level civil servant in the Ursus Empire's Treasury. I'm here to negotiate with you as your representative."
That's how long Ursus names are.
Fortunately, Yuan Congqian still had some common sense and knew that the Ursus people's surname was also at the end.
Yuan Congqian did not want the Ursus man to take over the conversation, so he changed the subject: "The guard officer beside the lord has a very impressive figure. I wonder which Ursus hero he is?"
When asked about the guard officer beside him, pink-haired Rupert showed a hint of displeasure.
He looked at the white-haired and golden-feathered Liberi with his sunset pink eyes and gave a brief introduction:
"Major Blucher, a member of the Imperial Guards."
The translator was surprised and added in a low voice to Yuan Congqian:
"Bleuher was a young hero who participated in the Battle of the Four Emperors and fought in three battlefields: Samy, Victoria, and Gaul. There are rumors that King Corsica I was frightened to death by his bravery in battle. Having the Tsar personally award him a medal should only be a propaganda trick used by the Ursus people."
Yuan Congqian looked at Blucher carefully and immediately knew who he was.
The name Blucher may be unfamiliar to him. Later, out of hatred for the Ursus Empire, he would use a familiar pseudonym - Helag, which means a person living in hell.
As for Nikolai Prokofy Ivanov, he was an acquaintance of Yuan Congqian. The three-part name of the Ursus people is composed of "first name, patronymic, and last name". He would have a daughter named Avdotya Nikolayevna Ivanova.
Lord Nicholas folded his arms and leaned forward:
"I am very happy that Yan Country has a young hero like you who has a far-sighted vision. Our emperor single-handedly created the golden age of Ursus. Our weapons are piled up like mountains, and our medicines are as vast as the ocean. I believe that the Western Pharmacy will definitely need us."
"Western medicine is only part of Yan's new economic plan."
Yuan Congqian smiled slightly, "Yan Country's demand for modern Western medicine is no less than that of Ursus, and it is impossible to meet it by importing alone. There is no doubt that the people of Great Yan need more advanced and modern pharmaceutical engineering. What kind of help can your country provide us?"
The translator glanced at Yuan Congqian without leaving a trace.
He followed Longmen Chen and traveled between many banks and to the mainland, so how come he had never heard of any news of the "new economic plan"?
He was confused, but still translated Yuan Congqian's words.
When Lord Nicholas heard about the new economic plan, he couldn't take his eyes off it: "New economic plan?"
"It's just a series of economic measures to make the people of Da Yan rich. I can't reveal more. The Shaofu and Hubu of the Da Yan government, which is the treasury, have invested in the Western Pharmacy and plan to negotiate with financial entities such as Mining United Credit... I believe the lord should understand what this means."
"Can you tell me more about that?"
Only now did Lord Nicholas finally take it seriously.
When he heard about the Mining Union Credit, he commented in an inexplicable tone: "The Union Credit is just a backward settlement pretending to be a country. Is there anyone there who truly loves Rem Billiton? They are just puppets being manipulated by the lions."
The Ursus Empire had fought wars with almost all of its neighbors, its technology was backward, and its export products had poor sales.
Thanks to the mining and farming of the contemporary Tsar Vladimir, the Ursus Empire, which was plagued by hunger and backwardness, was brought to the ranks of developed countries. By the way, the poor population and unstable infected people were eliminated through the excellent mining system.
If Ursus could export the accumulated unsold industrial products by supporting the economic growth of Yan Country, that would be great news that would allow Lord Nicholas to be promoted to the clerk level 2!
Chapter 36 Ursus: Fighting, so cool!
Who are Ursus' neighbors?
On the upper left is Sami who started the war, on the lower left is Casimir who has fought nine national wars and Victoria who fought in the Four Emperors War, below is Leitania who has great martial virtues but whose monarch is a little crazy, and on the lower right is Kazdel who has fought more than 2,000 wars of annihilation in all of Terra.
Yuan Congqian's comment was, "Fighting is awesome."
The only country that seems to be able to trade with Ursus is Victoria. But Victoria is located in the center of Terra, with flat terrain and abundant resources. What does it need to buy from the snowfield? Buy the demons from the non-icefield?
'If Victoria was willing to import a certain commodity from the Empire, then the Empire would inevitably suffer losses in the short or long term.'
This is a fact recognized by everyone in the Ursus Empire's treasury.
Plant cash crops and build light industry?
It must be a conspiracy of the evil Lion King!
Looking at the big pink wolf that had taken the bait, Yuan Congqian played hard to get and shook his head and sighed:
"I wanted to discuss with you how to revitalize Yan's economy. However, the conditions of trading through the Ursus Central Bank and using your country's currency are too harsh for us. Public criticism will undoubtedly hinder the advancement of the policy."
"This..." Lord Nicholas hesitated, "As far as I know, Da Yan's current currency has not yet built a complete system. There is no widely accepted and circulated paper money, and it is still highly tied to precious metals. It is too inconvenient for transactions..."
At this moment, the Lord really had no intention of playing any tricks on Yuan Congqian.
This is the Dayan people's own problem. In the capital, 30% of the currency in circulation is foreign. What else is there to say?
“Just open another bank.”
Yuan Congqian played the card of discord lightly, "The western medicine purchased by the government-built western pharmacy and your country's excess chemical production lines are enough for a small bank to gain a foothold in Longmen through these circulating funds. I think the lord does not trust the prefect of Longmen, so why appoint other banks?"
"The Treasury Department does not have the qualifications to establish a bank in a foreign country."
"Lord, when you talk to me, are you speaking from the perspective of a Level 5 clerk, or from the perspective of the person in charge of your own family?"
Looking at Lord Nicholas who was awakened by him, Yuan Congqian shook his head in disappointment: "Even if everything is put aside, the governor of Longmen entrusted you with this. Doesn't he have his own selfish motives? Lord, have you ever checked how many shares of the Central Bank he owns?"
He actually didn't know how many.
Just fooling around.
Because he was sure that the lord didn't know either.
The Ursus Central Bank actually had nothing to do with the Ursus Empire. It was only established by the Ursus people in Longmen. The state-owned bank of Ursus was called the Imperial Bank. This was the only information Yuan Congqian knew, but it did not prevent him from using it to scare Lord Pink Hair.
If Kosche really dared to reveal himself as the ruler of Longmen, it would not be Wei Yanwu who came, but the 19 Tianshi from Tianshi Mansion. In Yuan Congqian's view, Kosche was able to capture the intelligence of the International Commercial Bank and let Lord Nicholas choose the bank through the information gap, which was already his limit!
Judging from the plot, Black Snake is obviously not someone who plays with economics!
The Ursus people sent by Black Snake Kosice were not necessarily from Black Snake's faction, and the helpers invited by the enemy were not firmly in place. Moreover, Lord Nicholas's position was not in Longmen, but in the Treasury of the Ursus Empire.
After Yuan Congqian gave him a few simple instructions, the lord made up his mind to break away from the Longmen prefect and work on his own.
In the face of the in-depth economic cooperation between the two countries, what does a small prefect who helps contact him count for?
Level 1 to level 5 clerks were already nobles in the Ursus Empire government, not to mention that Lord Nicholas was a member of the Ivanova family. Lord Nicholas was aroused by Yuan Congqian and agreed deeply.
"Okay, we can give up the condition of using the Ursus Central Bank as a transaction channel, and the National Treasury will also send its own channels to transport the drugs. The National Treasury will not consider setting up a new bank, so let's choose the International Commercial Bank."
Lord Nicholas said, "As for free aid to build a chemical platform, it is impossible, but Da Yan can offset those amounts by purchasing Ursus's export products. The other details can be discussed in detail after the people from the Imperial Department arrive."
Tiny beads of sweat kept appearing on the translator's neck.
This seems to be different from what the young master said, that we were just here to discuss the topic of importing millions of taels of Western medicine.
This is not about buying millions of taels of medicine. Why does it sound like the foreign representative of Dayan is discussing the economic development of the two countries with the representative of Ursus?
Looking back, Chen Zhijun and his elders were also trying hard to hide their nervousness, and were looking at Yuan Congqian who had completely mastered the rhythm of the conversation.
"In fact, we have had this intention for a long time. Yan State is currently in a food shortage." Yuan Congqian suddenly said, "The new economic plan jointly drafted by the major government offices of Yan State..."
The young Herag and the Lord's eyes instantly focused on him.
Yuan Congqian knew that it was time to release the bait that could really catch the Ursus people.
"...It's nothing. It's just that considering the temporary backwardness of Da Yan in heavy industry, in order to become well-known among the countries of Terra as soon as possible, the Da Yan court unanimously agreed to give priority to the development of light industry, non-staple food, life science technology, agricultural products and cultural products.
If we can deepen cooperation with a big country, with the other party providing heavy industrial products and Da Yan providing light industrial products, and become the other party's solid granary and entertainment consumption place, while building the economy, accepting the other party's insignificant chemical industry engineering assistance... then everyone will be happy. "
Yuan Congqian spoke slowly, and Lord Nicholas nodded up and down following the rhythm of his words, like dancing.
The lord looked at Yuan Congqian as if he was looking at the Sakotas of Lateran, and shouted in his heart:
"Oh my god, this is exactly what Ursus said!"
What could be more comfortable than a country that is willing to be the granary and grain processing plant of the empire? The Ursus Empire stores arms, the Great Yan stores grain, and the neighbor's granary is also his granary!
"I will do my best to convince His Majesty to start comprehensive economic support for Yan Country... Oh, no, this is just information that Your Excellency never mentioned. What we are discussing is the import and export of medicines."
Lord Nicholas's eyebrows danced with uncontrollable joy. He paused and looked at Yuan Congqian: "Also, how can you guarantee that your country's new economic plan will choose the Ursus Empire as the exporter of heavy industrial products?"
Yuan Congqian pretended to laugh twice:
"My Lord, I'm afraid the bank will laugh at your speed in gathering information. I am the nephew of the Emperor of Great Yan, the son of the Queen's brother, and the cousin of the next Emperor. In all of Great Yan, there is no nobler than me!"
Chapter 37 That's really too much
On behalf of the Treasury, Lord Nicholas signed a simple letter of intent with Yuan Congqian and then left the Chen Mansion.
Once the International Bank of Commerce drafts a formal import contract for the two countries, he will be able to transport the batch of antibiotics worth 800,000 Yan country silver coins from Khabarovka as the first batch of Western medicines for the Western Pharmacy to test the waters.
This is a huge political achievement for him and the Harbin government.
There is a Honglu Temple Hall for foreigners in Jing'anfang.
The Ursus people were surprised to find that the street food shops in Jing'anfang actually accepted Cherwen and could circulate normally. Not only that, the currencies of Colombia and Victoria, and even RIM Billiton's mining bonds, could be used in Jing'anfang.
"Perhaps this is the confidence of a big country, allowing foreign currencies to flood the market and squeeze the use of its own currency."
Lord Nicholas sighed and soaked the pine needles he brought with him in the tea. "His Majesty has strictly stipulated that no foreign currency is allowed to circulate in Ursus. It must be exchanged at the bank. This is really troublesome for the Treasury."
Due to geographical factors, the common Ursus people need to drink pine needle water frequently.
Blucher is the Hippogriff of Liberia, so this is totally unnecessary.
Lord Nicholas took off his coat and looked at the nobles of Dayan who were racing downstairs in the guild hall. He laughed and said, "The young people here are really making trouble. If my wife and I had a daughter, my child would definitely be much more obedient than them."
Blucher, who had been silent until then, could not help but speak:
"My Lord! The conditions offered by that Yan noble named Yuan are too generous to the Empire, so generous that they are fake!"
"Is it fake? I think it's very real."
Lord Nicholas drew the curtains and did not look back.
It seemed that he was more curious about how to open the screen in front of him than the conversation.
Blucher seemed unaware that the topic he was talking about had dampened the Lord's interest, and continued, "According to the intelligence I read from the Secret Service before coming here, there are at least two shareholders in the International Commercial Bank who are related to the Longmen Chen family, and their recommendation was selfish."
"so what?"
"So, although the International Commercial Bank has a good reputation in the empire, it is not trustworthy. The Longmen prefect has been particularly generous to us and has made good arrangements. He must have some needs for the empire. Isn't it obvious that Lord Yuan's selfish motives are the same as his?"
Blucher expressed the doubts about the conversation.
Of course, these doubts were not worth mentioning in Lord Nicholas's view.
Lord Nicholas finally pulled the screen aside and paused for a moment.
"The Empire doesn't care about that at all."
